Yes, something has happend. And I actually do not know what it is.
Collective depression, emptyness, lack of direction or purpose? No common platform? Insanity put in system? Really hard to say, But I've hear these words: "up is down, cold is warm, right is wrong and left is right" -
I don't know but I have my own plan how to get into a more sensible world one day. Want my remaining days to be that of quality- so... one has to get off internet eventually me recon. Cos this is where desperation, fear and anger lives today, but it was not always like that. My2c
I saw one of these with the trumpet standig up like in Chatillions second picture in a house my father bought in 1977. Were some stoneplates alongside... yea it worked:) Lp player is best sound but if you have a party and lots of people bouncing up and down best place that record player on a stabile structure, on some rocky mountains.
By the way, I just took a quick look into the socalled paygap, here in my country.
According to official studies two thirds is due to different choises men and women make about what jobs they go after. The last part, one third is calculated to be different pay for same work. Right.... so that looks pretty bad on paper.
Then... I had an eureka moment.... Here goes: same work- done by man and women.... is not legal in Norway if they both work in the same sector. That being good, means that a woman who feel discriminated and can show proof has a good case against their employer, so in practicality that will never happen. So how come sometimes the same type of job pays differently? Well... cos sometimes that job is done by a person with higher education and seniority, or it's done in private sector opposed to public sector.
Capish?
So that one girl next to one boy doing the same job and afterwords is paid differently is a totally false presentation of what is going on. Never happens, at least not in my country. It's illegal.
Conclution: all this paygap stuff is about statistics. We all know that can be misleading.
You are right Tiger that Putin could have opted to stay home. That much is true. But .... there are some buts so it was not such an easy call in my mind.
Usa could have opted to let USSR place nukes on Cuba in 62 also but chose to threeaten with full all out extinsion of the human race instead, and it worked.
Anyhowsers, yes what has happened in Ukraine is a tragedy. And as Luke points out, could have been stopped long ago if only we would have talked to that guy in Moscow a bit earlier and asked what he wants.
@Merlot. That may be a bit too optimistic, that the United States will now (after all these years) just give up time and effort invested in Ukraine. China do not have that much influence over the Kiev chiefs who been working closely with Biden and his crew for quite some time now.
What I expact will happen eventually is that sout-eastern Ukraine will become a sovereign nation, and the new west Ukraine will become a Nato + Eu member faster than fast. Alternativelly Donbas will become a new part of Russia as Crimea before it, however where the border will go is unclear.
The only reason this is not completely horrendous is that those areas are dominated by Russians and has been for such a long time now. So it's cool, in my humble opinion.
Good thing is though: West Ukraine will never again be thretened by Moscow. - - -
No. You are the naive one. You also think msm is free and neutral do you? How do you feel about that Riz... that the news has taken sides, like it?
You think nobody in washington is paid nothing to vote a certain way.. right? The pharma and the arms industry to name a few has no say in (American) politics etc. Most be a (naive) European way past his learning days to think that way.
..But... you stay there on your safe undisturbed island of confort now, it's fine with me. You deserve it I'm sure.
Zelensky can somehow be forgiven nomather if he do good or bad, in my view. I never liked the guy but I have more sympathy for him today than I had at the beginnig of the war. I think he has a group of very rich countrymen to answer too so basically he has never any rest. Dragged between pleasing his masters in Washington at one hand and his own upper class privileged oligharks at the other while all along pretend to be some kind of saviour and hero on the inyternational scene as he continue his world tour of money begging. At least he has some acting skills from before.
I think it can be stopped in a few days yes IF the united states actually do something actively to stop it. We all know Zelinsky can not fight it alone. It would mean some changes to the borders of feb 2022, yes it would.
Yea I looked through it. But he has a different apprach than me, he is much more "Ukr friendly" so to speak, and here are two examples: "Family ties. Russia and Ukraine have strong familial bonds that go back centuries. Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, is sometimes referred to as “the mother of Russian cities,” on par in terms of cultural influence with Moscow and St. Petersburg. " -the author say and by that indicating that Putin wants Kiev under Russian rule. I see no evidence of that. Second example: he say that the confluct excaleted when Putin annexed crimea in 2014, without mentioning why he did (as a result fo the Maidan 'revolution'). So he is basically defending the pro Nato-umbrella argument.
Agree that oxy expressed herself well. She always do. All respect to her no doubt.
Oxy with all due respect. Some on our side in (political) position is making the war not go away, they fuel it. There is another way called the negotiating table and I'd love your view on such an idea (talks now).
Trump (yes I know, I go on about him) he is saying he can stop the madness in 24hours. Some on here laugh of that. What do you say to his comment. Let us know what is the obstacle that would face him if he tried Oxy, cos I think you're smarter and more knowledgeable than you pretend to be.
Bashing the low level of knowledge among us other bloggers is not fruitful. I know the audience yes, I'm not trying to win a pullitzer, just flagging my anti-msm views so folk can see there are at least some who think not accordingly. That is my motive, only. Also why I'm not very eager to actually debate with closed minded ones (not including you nor Tiger in that), cos it tend to go on in endless circles.
Feel free to not answer at all, or as short as you can make it. You have more knowledge than most of us here.
This blog is about the msm being used actively in kahoot with the Am gov in the ongoing propaganda war, plus scaring countries into getting in line. Any comments about the actual blog if you don't wanna comment on the war itself?
